Entry of front door

This is the entry as you come into our front door.The half wall on the right is the one side of the dining room area.To the left is the hallway that goes to the bathroom and to the bedrooms.The light fixtures have to go. i do not like these what so ever.Not my style.We have some chandy's that we bought.We have a really cool one we bought in the French Quarter when we spent 2 weeks there. Love the French Quarter.Definitely have to make another trip there.The food ?? The food is absolutely delicious.


Hallway that is on the right side of the entry way of the front door.

This hallway does have a coat and linen closet to the right hand side as you go down the hallway.Maser bedroom is on the right side at the end of the hallway. The other 2 bedrooms and bathroom are on the left side of the hallway.it needs color to the walls to warm it up.

Living Room area with fireplace and 2 side windows tha look out to our pool.

This is the first room as you see when you walk through our front door.There is a little step to walk in to this room. The 2 window that are on the side of the fireplace does have blinds on them.The sun here can be pretty hot and likes to warm up your home. I do like to keep them open at times.I love looking at our pool and the outside view of the palm trees that grow in the back orchard here.There was no mantel or ceiling fan when we bought this house.We must go and try and find a mantel for this poor soul.Paint needed too! The carpet isn't too bad.I can vision some beautiful dark wood floors in here.To the right of the living room you have a little step that is open to the family room.There is a short wall that divides these rooms.This house really need some dressing up.It will be a fun challenging time doing so.

The step and short wall that divides the 2 rooms.Add caption

Ok ....Now back to finishing unpacking and arranging things around.I wanted to share some pics of our home .I have got curious friends out there who have been wanting to see what our home here in Arizona looks like,This house like our other house does remind me of a cottage type home. it definitely is different then the home we lived in back in Il. Alot of the houses out here are.They definitely are built different then what we are used of seeing.Interesting...... I have seen some beautiful homes too.The kind that should be in a table top book. I will be adding more pics of our home .It has been cooler here 90's.I hope you all have a fun and creative day....Chickie

Na- Da Farm Event May 20-21

2011-05-19T16:00:00.000-07:00

These are some photo's that I took from the Na-Da Farm Sale last May. I was living back in Dixon,Il at the time.I lived there for many years. Which is not far from Ann Marie's Farm in Creston. For me I planned on going for weeks and planned to go so I took the time and went to this FABULOUS sale.It was so good to be able to go to such a FANTASTIC sale.I still think about how everything was in place and how it looked that evening. The candles that flickered throughout and the BEAUTIFUL colors of delicious treats.I can't forget about the glass of wine that I drank while in the other hand I got to have a taste of a delicious chocolate while browsing around all over the barn and outside as well too. Ok, I had a glass or 3.It really fit the mood. This was FUN !!I didn't want to miss any details..It was CLASSY too.Oh... every where I turned I saw such INSPIRATION of some really WONDERFUL hand-made things.The woman that came were in awwws and oh's as they too saw the things that were displayed so BEAUTIFULLY.
This barn looked like something that should be out of a book.The kind that you would be PLEASED to pick up every time and NEVER get tired of what your eyes could see.I still love looking back at all of my photos and yes I still say "Oh my,I just LOVE all the things that I got to see there".I was seeing familiar faces.They were the woman that I saw everyday over morning coffee with.The faces of my favorite blogs.They didn't know it at the time.(Even though I had plenty of wine,he he).I got shy . So I wandered quietly through the crowd of them. Next time maybe I wont be so shy???The woman that put all their TALENT to make such WONDERFUL things and even all the time to pull it all together are ABSOLUTELY FAB.I probably would have been snacking on a few treats or more if I was helping out,he he.They made you feel very welcomed there. To think that this event will even have MORE TALENTED woman there is killing me ....I have to admit I am SADLY going to MISS this.. My friends that know me well know this. I'm am telling them all to go.I even posted this event on my facebook page .This will be a FANTASTIC event trust me Im am POSITIVE on this one.Go if you can it is well WORTH it.Next year for sure I plan on coming back to town and going to it.
To my sister Kimberly and Lauren(from Cracker Jax. A fun shop in Dekalb).Enjoy ...Think about me back here in AZ., girls !!Maybe I should have got hooked up with Beth Quinn he he ??Hey she is from out here.She will be displaying her jewelery there.Along with TALENTED woman.The list is long.Can you see that it is killing me (sniff).I am looking forward to seeing everyone's pic's that they put out there.
Anne Marie have a BEAUTIFUL and SUNNY day.THANK-YOUfor sharing your farm with so many INSPIRING woman to have such a event as this.I know I LOVED it.......To all the woman that take the time to show sooo much TALENT and INSPIRATION I hope to you all too to have a BEAUTIFUL and FUN time.........Chickie(sniff sniff,boo)

I am showing you some of the sweet things I put together for my sister Kim who still lives back in the midwest of IL. For Easter.I made this tag for her.The Bingo cards were bought here in Phoenix.Then I tied the cards with some jute string and added the button for that extra touch..It was fun putting this together as a part of her Easter gift...

I hope everyone is enjoying their week .The weather here is going to be in the 90s.There is a Barn Sale in Scottsdale.I never been.Looking forward to see what it has to offer.I sure miss the Flea Markets, Auctions and Rummage Sales and places to dig in back in my home town of Illinois. I had luck finding so many fun finds there.

It will be a new learning adventure for me.

Any clue what me and my shopping buddy found????

2011-02-26T13:14:00.000-08:00

We found these 4 paintings at a local second hand store in Phoenix, AZ. The Geisha Girl and Samauri are from the same artist and look to be very old, hand painted in watercolors on silk. The other 2 are from a different artist and appear old as well but not watercolors. The photos don't do the colors justice, all 4 have beautiful rich colors. We are clueless as to the age, artists or value of these pieces but couldn't pass on them at $4.99 each. If anyone can help us try and track down information about them, or where to start looking for information about them it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance from Chickie and her Shopping Buddy.

Brave duck. He just came up on our little deck.He was curious .Just stood there watching my 16 yr- old play his guitar while he was sitting on the bench.The other ducks hung out in the water by the dock swimming around.

More visitor's that have swan by.Sometimes in the yard.

friends and creativity...

2010-12-28T18:35:00.000-08:00

Above I'm showing you some of my creativity that I been doing the past week(besides looking at everyone's blogs and not getting too much done.So well worth it.I would miss some connection to you out there).I made this for a Christmas present for my special friend out here in Arizona Mrs.Vicki.She is originally from Baton Rouge,LA. she has been living out here in Az for over a 3 yrs or so I have known her for a little over 2 years.She and I been figuring out where to antique out here.We do have fun ..Let me tell you when she talks, O yeah ... 100% southern just like her kindness can be.Mrs.Vicki's heart IS full of kindness and hospitality and she is true believer in God.I wanted to show her that she means alot to me.I don't take her friendship for granted.Anyone who gets to know Mrs.Vicki would see what I'm talking about.I probably be talking about her as well as my friend Bren from back in Il.

We all have special friends in our hearts and our lives.Stories that we relive.Stories that makes us laugh so hard.I am one of those. I have to admit(yeah I might have wet my pants a few times).I love a good laugh.Stories that we share that involve a box of Kleenex and tears of heartache and sadness.Stories that make you grow. Ok ,and for some like me on the flip side of it.... growing too would be food You know ice cream and my favorite cookies they are like vitamins.They make you feel better ,right?? I felt pretty good when I ate the cookies Bren sent.( I ate most of them).Decorating issues to hair and do you think this outfit makes me look big?? he he...Sometime for me might be a cooking issue.Right Bren?? Th rifting ,Antiquing we have some stories about that.Our families,children.
A sisterhood that we share and so many more stories that will be made to the chapters of our lives.
I hope everyone had a wonderful warm and cozy holiday...Chickie

Still at it.....

2010-12-13T10:38:00.000-08:00

Working on my fireplace mantel.trying to put it all together.I did use some real green from outside.Lucky for me we have 3 little bushes outside by the lake here that I used some clipping for our fireplace mantel Adding some white lights to it.Time consuming at the same time. I do really enjoy decorating our home for the holidays. Ok, back to more decorating.
Hope everyone in keeping warm out there .For here at the little lake cottage its nice 70's. My friend Bren back in Il has texted me with some pretty wintery pics of the snow she has in her yard.Brrrr Bren.That looks cold.She like to remind me what I'm missing out of the midwest seasons. Bren, You know I been in many cold winters there..Gotta love her ! So then I fill her in with the weather here.He He ...
I miss the snow in the way it blankets the outside and it makes Christmas that much better.It has its own way of adding to the Christmas spirit and is is pretty and the art work hat God makes in its own way.The coldness of it Brrr.I could pass. .I do enjoy and look forward seeing the pics of the weather through the eyes of others.

My friend Vicki and I went to The Melrose Crawl out here in Phoenix.We stopped in at Zinnia's had to see one of my favorite booths.Tricia from vintagebliss.blogspot.com has a sweet booth there.From there we went to Rust and Roses.Tricia was set out in front of the shop under a tent with such a mix of nicely displayed vintage things Dressed up bottles jewelery and cute stocking stuffers..Of course like most who blog I told her who I was and that I too blogged.We exchanged stories of course of how much we enjoy vintage things and at times it is hard to let go of some.Tricia is a warm and friendly person.She is creative as well.


Vintage Journal

I fell for this vintage journal Tricia made .I love it from the materiel on the cover of the journal,the sweet vintage pin.Inside is just as sweet ! It has decorative paper and vintage wallpaper with little extras in it.Especially the little touches of glitter...

Beautiful Birds with a touch of glitter....Love the glitter !

Tricia also has some fun finds as well on Etsy. Look for Vintage Bliss.Better yet you can stop by her bog vintagebliss.blogspot.com and see what Tricia is doing and say "Hi !".

Paris Montana was set next to Tricia.She had her Air Streamer. Well decorated that matches her personality well.She had her bohemian salvaged jewelery she makes there.Beautifully displayed.She has a blog too.parismontana.blogspot.com.You can peek in on her and be in touch with what she is up to.


Vintage Journal

Vicki and I stopped in Rust and Roses which is the mother store to Sirens and Saints.They also has a bog site to visit sirensandsaints.blogspot.com We come here quite frequently..Vicki shopped around and I talked more then I looked around.I was talking to a very nice lady there that had some of her vintage pieces there for sale.She was so nice.Then Vicki started to panic she couldn't think where she placed her sunglasses( the not too cheap kind I might add). Pretty crazy.She found them,right where she put them... In her car.I never got that nice lady's name.I will have to go back.Soon !!( I will have to get that nice lady's name)I had a fun time with Vicki. This is a shop worth going to if you are ever in Phoenix look it up.Shelly the owner has such great finds.Salvaged pieces,chippy shabby ,vintage just to name a few that you will see when you are there. I love coming to this shop! !! I'm thinking when I go back I should do a post about it.What do you think.You wont be disappointed .You will want to make a trip to see it for yourself.
Have a great weekend !

We are getting ready for Thanksgiving around here.I'm adding a few decorative touches around the house.Keeping it some what simple .Wishing these flowers were real .It would add that little touch.We have a storage unit still back in Il that has the majority of my holiday decorations.So I'm trying to be creative with some of the things we moved out with us here.To be honest the majority of the things we have are mostly decorations.It's all good right???

I hope everyone had a nice weekend .I hope some of you are keeping warm.The weather here has been clear and nice.I am looking forward to decorate for Christmas(after Thanksgiving Day,Bren.I know you are wanting to put that tree up of yours and decorations up.Gee !! The anticipation .he he.).

This is a chippy shelf that hangs in our family room near a glass door as you step out to the pool area.I can't believe that it is Thanksgiving soon.It is so different to be out here then it is back in Il.The weather here and the way it looks with palm trees..It's getting used of I'm sure.

Some old shoe laces laying around.I like the details on the paper that the shoe strings are wrapped up with.Then I added some old vintage ribbon .Got to have a few shells laying around.I do like the shades of gray on this one.

Ta Da This is what the whole wall looks like.Simple...
I hope everyone's day is starting out for a good week.

Just showing some of the things I have placed in our kitchen.I turned a old farmer's tool tote on it's side.

Tis the Season of Fall.....

2010-10-28T14:50:00.000-07:00

The shelf I have in my dining room is very long with a weathered look. A friend of mine Jeniffer mad it from back home.The girl is talented.She can whip up some really neat things.She paints some sweet signs too !!
I hung some vintage things from it A.linen towel to layering some mirrors to an old little whisk broom which I love.Then you can see the frame with the pitcher in front.Another favorite of mine.

This is a old wire basket from a bike that I picked up at a garage sale.I put some vintage plates in with some doilies that hang from it.I of course had to use my fake leaves for that fall touch.I kinda have to use some artificial things more often being here.I don't mind a little challenge of finding stuff like that to work for.
Since being out here in AZ we don't have the trees like we did in Il. I have to admit the trees back there are beautiful this time of year.
I better go back to farmgirlpaints.blogspot.com I need to go and tell Becky that there are some things that I do miss in the seasons in Il.( If you can go over and say "Hi" to Becky .Her blog has stories that intrigue you as well as inspire you !)The cold brrr that not so much. The colors that go with each of the seasons .The leaves that fall and blanket the ground.(Here out in the front of our yard some cactus needles,ouch !! he he)Some really good recipes and the food that goes with it.( I'm sure when Bren reads this she will be saying "You cook?") To be be honest not much as I use to.That be be in some of my posts later .The flowers you see.The fun in going to pumpkin farms and Christmas tree farms.(Here we do have some.It;s just that it is warmer here.The seasonal air back in Il is more fitting to going to places like these).There are even the fabrics and textile that are part of the season as well.The scent of spices that make your home a place to curl up with a warm blanket and a good cup of hot coffee in your hand.(By the way my friend Bren makes wonderful coffee.Working in Dixon at the best book store in town there she makes the best coffee drinks daily).I will miss some of those things that go with the season.(Maybe Bren will send me some of that banana bread she baked ??)
Becky reminded me some of the things I will miss.Her attitude made me look at the season differently.The past of the seasons in my memories will not be forgotten.Some of my family and friends lives there still. Visiting there regardless what-ever season it may be is worth it to see those that I miss.We did have some memorable times.

I do like it here in our little cottage by the lake .It don't change so much seasonally except for the temp.Least it has cooled down some in the evening time.It will be fun making it seasonal inside and maybe some outside of our home.
Got To Go...I have to go write a comment farmgirlpaints.blogspot.com

The Ledge...

2010-10-23T12:16:00.000-07:00

This is a ledge in our dining room that I decorated up.The window view looks out to the side of home.Which in time I would love to make in into a little court yard. It would make the view more attractive.

Dining Room Ledge

I have some really sweet black baby amish shoes on top of my very old wooden box.Little touch to it.


Vintage Milking Stool

How is this this for a sweet look ?? This stool is a great find !!! Fun to add old vintage bottles of all sorts.This is a window ledge that I'm sure I will change many times.

Kitchen

This wire basket is in front of my sink in our kitchen. This little lake cottage does has a few similar features like the house we lived in back in Illinois.This corner sink is one of them.I have plenty of space to decorate with.Which i really like.I have two windows on each side.One has a great view of the lake.Sometimes you can see the ducks out there.

Kitchen

I put some ironstone( A fav of mine) along with some pretty USA dishes in the wire basket along witha sweet burlap bag I bought at Kane County Flea Market . If you ever have a chance to go to Kane's Flea Market go.My husband and 15yr-old really like going to it .It was just a little over an hour drive for us.We even took my 5yr-old grandson Dylan.We made it fun for him by saying we were looking for treasures.Lots of fun !!

These burlap bags are fun to decorate too with.
I hope everyone had a bright day.

Details....

2010-10-12T17:37:00.000-07:00

Fireplace Mantel

Today I finished our fireplace mantel.I hope ?? I say that cause I always seem to think more of how it looks. I need more detail at times. Does anyone else find themselves putting together a setting then your still quite not sure if you like it ?? Then you have to look at it awhile.Or maybe a few more times ??.Then you get another idea then you start all over with what you started with or you add more ?? Or you might not even use what you had ?


Fireplace mantel

Fireplace Mantel

You can see in my earlier post I didn't finish some of little details. I am about detail. I admit I do have fun thinking up some of the details. What's Halloween without a little mouse creeping around ? The black birds are a touch as well. Dollar Store.Reading pleasure how about setting the scene by adding some Ann Rice books.

Table in Living Room

I had this pic too ! I had to go back and finish just some little details.Just a little.Fix it up Put some skeleton hands and roaches(not real of course) and make sure I least had a baby mouse on it..I'm sure someone out there understands where I'm coming from ?? Maybe? I really do like adding details.I know Bren. You want me to come back to Il and do your small details in your house.She just wants me to feel that cool air.Then she will try to talk me into moving back. Maybe bribe me with all her goodies that she bakes.Hmmm I cant right now ,you know that.Didn't you see our moving truck to get here.I even had to leave most of my holiday decorations in a storage unit back there in Illinois.

Pumpkin in Urn

See while I was just looking at this pic while putting it on my post, I thought how cute it would look if I added some little white lights or maybe some Halloween lights in the greens of this. Too much fun !!!
I hope you all find some Fun Finds for you to do for Halloween....

Getting ready for fall....

2010-10-11T17:17:00.000-07:00

Front Door

I'm getting ready for Fall here in Arizona.I made this arrangement for my front door.This helped add some color .Yeah, its different then Il where they have all the trees full of lots of color.You have to use some imagination here.

We got lucky and have these nice double doors that lead you into our family room as you walk into our sweet lake cottage.We had some beautiful double doors at our other home we used to live in back in Illinois.I love these doors !


Happy Fall...

Here is some more pics to share in our living room as you walk into our front door.

Adding some special touches around.....

Closer shot to see.There's my cute little punched out butterflies from French Larkspur.They are scattered on my vintage mirror.They are sooo sweet !!

Starting to add some Fall on our fireplace. We have a cozy fireplace in our lake cottage.I'm really thinking we might not use this fireplace as much as we did at our other home.It don't get as cold here as it did when we were back in Illinois. Snow here ?? I don't think so.Bren my very good friend from Illinois.I did a post about my Bren. If she is reading this she will be saying,"No snow ?? I love it when it has that crisp cold chill in the air !!". Bren likes snow too.Me ? I like a little snow.Little only.This year will be different. I'm sure Bren will call me and send me pics to remind me of what I'm missing.

Well back to decorating. I better go look in the kitchen my husband is making a big pot of chili.He loves to cook and he makes a really BIG MESS !

Inspiring people

2010-10-10T19:22:00.000-07:00

Ok, I know its been months since i put a post on.Alot for me and my family has happened as well in those past months.Yeah, Its true too that i spend more time looking at everyone else that has such inspiring blogs that I don't take the time to do my own.Even though i keep telling myself over and over i should.Should?? I gonna try.
I do want to share this post about this beautiful magazine.Which i'm sure most of you do know about it.It is well worth getting.For me one of the best parts of ordering before it comes I am excited to get it in the mail. I really do look forward to getting it.When I got this issue (which was a couple of weeks ago) it was wrapped in beautiful tissue paper,i could smell lavender. It was tied with a jute string around it with a sprig of lavender and a french page and a sweet weathered type of french postcard tucked in the string.Loved it !!! I didn't even want to unwrap it it was so beautifully wrapped.For a sweet touch she had little butterflies punched out of a page. This was the second time I ordered from Tracey. Her blog is the 'French Larkspur". See,that's why sometimes i don't do my own post.It's blogs like hers that keeps me glued to the computer.
Go to Tracey's blog . You will see why I don't take enough time to do my own. I look forward to such inspiring ideas and such wonderful stories and her photography is soo breathless. Funny thing i did see Tracey at Na da Farm show they had.Which was soo much fun,Anyway i seen her there ,i was just too shy to say anything.Silly ,huh ?? Now my chances will be slim to meet her and say "hi", in person.I lived in Dixon,Il now I live in AZ. Way far. We moved out here in July. I can visit her through her blog. That's one of the good parts of having a computer. You can be just as close.
Below you will see that i added the French papers to my mirror.It adds a special touch to my decorating and at the same time it reminds me of Tracey's thoughtfulness that she take time to add to my orders. The punched out butterflies i used too.I laid them on top of a vintage mirror that i have in our living room.

Today I want to share with you the stocking my mom made.What a great idea !! She made this cute stocking out of a kitchen towel.She bought the 3-pack towel set at Walmart.She was going to give the towels as a gift.Something better came out of it.This is sweet !! The fabric is nice as well too ! She comes up with some very creative ideas.I dont get to keep this stocking.She did make me one out of regular material.Very pretty ,I have to say.I wish I would have done better in sewing class when I was in high school.I was so bad I snuck my dress out of class to bring home so my mom could help touch it up.I dont even think you could tell at first I was trying to sew a dress together.Sorry Mrs. Hepner.I was really bad. I'm glad I have a mom that can sew.Now ,lets see what else can my mom sew up ?? I love you ,mom !!

2009-10-06T14:56:00.000-07:00

Yes,we have been busy and on the go.My husband and I(my husband gets the credit of driving) drove from our home here outside of Chicago all the way to Colorado Springs for a few nights then off to Las Vegas to see my son Tyler get married.Stayed there for a few nights then drove out to Goodyear,Arizona to see my very close friend Vicki and her family. .We stayed there 4nights .Had a great time as always with her..Except that my husband ended up getting a virus of some kind in his throat.We felt so bad for him.He could barely even talk.He is doing so much better that he got a prescription to get it taken care of.Urgent Care has wonderful nurses and doctors there in Goodyear.Finally our last stop in Fetus,MO to see his good friend Wayne for a night.Whew,lots of miles!!Then back home.Unpack,Whew!
Then a week to get ready for my son Ty's wedding reception .Decorating as always the night before the reception.Which turned out very nice.Like I said busy and on the go!!!
As for this week we put our house on the market.Three weeks gone by quick.We are looking to live in AZ.Crazy huh??( I lived there a year ago for almost a year.I came back to live in Il ).We will have another adventure to add to our lives.We are excited and looking forward to it! Warmer weather for sure then what we have been having here in IL.I miss certainly miss this beautiful home we live in.I will have another home to decorate.Sounds like fun to me.Vicki and I will have fun shopping as well for our new home while my husband sets up getting a new law firm office .We will have evenings together by the pool .

My friend Bren's house is one of my favorite places to hang out..I love her house.Its like home for me.She always makes you feel so welcomed in her home that she shares with her husband Kev.Her gorgeous 3yr-old grand-daughter Sadie evens has her own bedroom that any little girl who saw it would want to have a room like it.She had me over this Sat for my 44th birthday(I thought I was going to be 43.I must be either wishing deep down to stay younger or I am getting old.He He)Bren and I have been friends for over 30 years and share many memories through out those years.We spent the time over coffee and some very delicious bread.Yum.Let me tell you Bren can cook and bake like no other.She is really good at it!Ask people that know her.We always are curious what she is making.Its sooo yummy!!!Ok back to my story.Just thinking of her and her delicious food is getting me sidetracked.I bet if I called her up right now she would be having something tasty.
We went outside through her sliding glass doors that lead you out to this beautiful setting that has plants and these beautiful flowers that are placed in just the right spots.Yes,Bren is also good at gardening as well..I am at times bugging her to come over and do our yard or at least give me some pointers.She places old watering cans and flower pots of flowers to litttle gardening rubber boots underneath the pergula that hangs a shabby white chandilier.I could hang out here all afternoon.I love it here!!! Its so cozy!I hope by sharing with you pics of Brens house and garden you too will see what I'm talking about.I love you Bren !

This chippy white cabinet was found by my mom years ago.It looks like it was a old medicine cabinet.It somehow ended up at my house. Wow how did that happen(he he).Then you probably can figure out the rest.Right?? It now hangs in our dining room.I love this cabinet!! I did add a rusty old hook from it to hang my vintage whisk brooms.Also on the door of it I hung a white framed mirror with a rusty white little wire garden fence on top of it.Along with a metal tray that hangs below the mirror with added old bottles and vintage spools of ribbon in it.Underneath this chippy cabinet I did hang a small drying rack that holds my old vintage aprons and linens.I am looking forward real soon here decorating it with Halloween.Yeah I said Halloween.I'm am excited!! I got alot of cool ideas in my mind that are waiting to come out.I'm sure my friend Bren is getting excited as well.Anyone else out there??Oh..PS I think my mom forgot that she had at one time found this cool cabinet.When she did see it hanging on the wall she did say,"That looks familiar.I think I had something like that".(He he)OOOh.. really, I said "You did ??".Which I have to admit I have too with some things that ended up at her house as well.Guess my mom will know now!She will be very cool about it.That's the way my mom is.Well there is always more Fun Finds out there waiting to be found.I better now find my mom something cool.

Friday Fun Finds....

My mom and my 14yr-old son Tanner and I went to a local second-hand store.Alot of the things you find there are donated.It can be at times interesting and its one of the stores you never know what might be there You might come out of the store with a big box or you might not find anything at all.It is the thrill of the hunt as we say at times .Some of the things there are priced OK. For me I found some fun finds.I wanted to share wit you the fun finds that I did find.
The two round brown boxes are pretty cool.My mom had a idea for me.Maybe adding some really neat black numbers on it.Sounds great to me.The two vintage bottles are a favorite of mine.They have some neat detail's on them.The shabby white cotton string and the white buttons are something I also enjoy and so fun to decorate with.Oh... the two other little candle holders.I am going to turn them upside down and maybe put a nest or place in one of my flowers beds in.
Two round brown boxes 1.00
Four shabby white cotton strings .25 cents
The tall vintage bottle .25 cents (what a score)
The smaller vintage bottle 1.00 (still a deal)
The two candles holders .50 cents
White Buttons .25 cents

Im a day late getting my White Wednesday out.I didn't want to miss sharing some more fun whites we have in our home.Little children's china dishes that are placed in a old ironstone dish Oh...yeah I love ironstone too!!My old vintage shabby metal(I think was a food keeper???) cupboard I hung on the wall of our upstairs hallway holds vintage baby cups and very small children's silverware alongside sweet worn baby shoes which is a favorite find of mine..There also is a vintage baby bottle in it too.Check out the lamp.So much better looking at it in person. This lamp is really gorgeous!!!I bought it from my good friend Nancy.She has a very cute shop near by.Even better she made the shade.She used vintage postcards from Paris that hang from little chains.The base is alabaster.This lamp is in our bedroom alongside some very cool vintage purses that sit on top on a old suitcase.Well I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures for White Wednesday.Fun Finds 2 U....Chickie

Hi !! Welcome again to 'White Wednesday".I'm sharing some more found treasures that I put together in our home.One of my favorites is the vintage laundry basket that displaying my chenille blankets.Believe it or not I got the vintage laundry basket at a auction for only a dollar.As for the other pics they are from our kitchen.I put some old hotel silverware in a white vintage flower pot holder with a added touch of a little doily hand-made by my mom.Oh .. and yes to say the smallest fave of details I love so well is the little white vintage baby buttons I have spilled out next to a very old thimble and the rusty safety-pin that holds a spool of lace together which sits on top of the old shabby white tool carrying tote.I hope you enjoy them.
